Dear
Parents,
Valentine’s
Day is not far off and prior to your shopping for this day, I am taking this
opportunity to remind you of the guidelines in our Parent Handbook regarding
Valentine’s and treats:
“Please
do not attach any treats on Valentine’s cards (i.e. candy bars, etc.), due to
the possibility of a child with a deadly peanut/nut/food allergy receiving the
items. Valentine’s with candy attached will not be permitted in any
classroom.” We want this day to
be special for all students by keeping everyone safe and we do not want to
disappoint any child who may bring items to school to give out and then is not
permitted to do so.
The
PTA will be providing the students with cupcakes and a Capri Sun during the
party. The cupcakes are from * Whole
Foods Market in Naperville. The
ingredients are as follows for the cupcakes:
CAKE: SUGAR, FLOUR, CANOLA OIL, BAKING
POWDER, TAPIOCA FOOD STARCH, DEXTROSE, SALT, SOY FLOUR, XANTHUM GUM, CELLULOSE
GUM, BETA CAROTENE, VANILA EXTRACT, EGGS, CANOLA OIL, WATER, FROSTING: POWDERED
SUGAR, BUTTER, PALM OIL, SALT, COLOR (BEET JUICE, MALTODEXTRIN, SUNFLOWER OIL).
(CONTAINS: WHEAT, EGGS, SOY, MILK). The pink buttercream
frosting consists of powdered sugar, palm oil shortening, unsalted butter,
vanilla extract, sea salt and annatto (natural plant based food color). Please be aware the cupcakes may be made in
an area where tree nuts are available.
If your child is
unable to have the treat provided because of allergies, you should have already
notified the school nurse of this situation. You are asked to provide your child with a
treat that he/she can have if they have allergies to the cupcakes being
served.
Finally,
alternative activities will be planned for children whose families choose not
to participate in this event beginning at 2:30 p.m. Please contact Mr. LeCrone through email in
order that appropriate activities can be arranged. His email is: brian_lecrone@ipsd.org.
If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Brian
LeCrone
Principal
* The May
Watts PTA would like to thank Whole Foods for partnering with the PTA. Whole Foods offered a tremendous price break
in order to provide our children with a healthier, more natural and delectable
party treat.
